How water taps contribute to ESG goals

Sustainability is no longer a separate strategy; it is the strategy. More and more companies are taking it seriously, and rightly so. ESG goals help you make choices that are good for the planet, for your people and for your day-to-day operations.

But how do you make those abstract principles concrete in your daily operation? An unexpected but telling place to start: the office water tap.

What are ESG goals anyway?

For those who want a refresher: ESG goals are guidelines that help companies operate in a sustainable, socially responsible and transparent manner.

  • Environmental (environment): less waste, less carbon emissions, more economical use of raw materials
  • Social (human): health, well-being, diversity, engagement
  • Governance (policy): buy fairly, be transparent, do what you promise

A smart hydration solution such as a modern water tap can surprisingly contribute to all of these pillars.

Environmental: less emissions, less waste

Packaging-free drinking

Modern water taps avoid single-use bottles and cups. By switching to reusable bottles and taps connected through the tap, you can avoid tons of waste each year.

Dripl systems fully support this process, with a circular approach that minimizes waste. That means no more trucks delivering pallets of bottled water. Water comes from the tap, locally and efficiently.

Social: health and engagement

Healthy hydration

Adequate hydration reduces the risk of fatigue and supports cognitive functioning. Workers who drink enough are more productive and feel better.

A modern hydration offering lets employees choose: flat, effervescent, flavored, chilled. This promotes engagement and personal autonomy

Offering tasty, sugar-free drinks through taps makes healthy drinking more appealing and accessible.

Governance: visible sustainable policies

Transparent impact reporting

Smart water tap systems can often track how much is tapped, how much waste was avoided and how much CO2 was saved. This data is useful in ESG reporting, impact dashboards and certification files.

Ethical and local purchasing

Choosing suppliers with a circular business model, fair production and transparent supply chain, contributes to a credible sustainability policy.

Dripl works locally and circularly, with a clear focus on traceability and transparency.

How do you begin?

  1. Analyze your current system: How much waste are you producing? How much water use is there? What are the transportation flows?
  2. Set goals: Do you want to eliminate plastic? Encourage healthy habits? Strengthen ESG reporting?
  3. Choose an appropriate solution: Choose a tap that fits your goals, your infrastructure and your team. Systems like the Refill Point make the difference tangible and measurable.
  4. Communicate: Show what you are saving and why this is important to your business, customers and employees.

The path to a sustainable office does not always involve grand gestures. Often the power lies in consistent, visible choices. A modern water tap is one of those: packaging-free, healthy, social and measurable. It shows that you not only know ESG goals, but also make them tangible in your daily operations.

Smart hydration is not a detail. It's an ESG decision. And with Dripl, that choice becomes easier.
